    I would recommend getting a Code Signing Certificate. This allows you to sign your executable, which should help prevent tampering, should reduce false positives (Signed binaries are treated a little bit differently by heuristic/general scans, for most antivirus/etc software), and should boost user confidence in the software.

    I question the benefit of actually packing with UPX though. If we were talking about metered bandwidth for downloads, a zip file or a standard installer has the same reduction benefits. And I don't know about anyone else but it's not going to make one iota of a difference to me whether a random executable is 5mb or 10mb. I can't fit anything extra on my hard drive because the executable was packed down to 5, etc. Besides: it's your whole program, 5mb vs 10mb is negligible in 2019. In my book, the main reason to use a packer is to try to hide things from analysis, which subsequently is why those antivirus products treat it poorly.

    So my second recommendation is to just drop UPX packing.

    Did it, thank you as well.

    i would really think about your price structure. unless your just cashing in from classic.
    I think mostly about Classic but this is too late I plan to make it free with Patreon/PayPal donations because I have only about 300 exe downloads and didn't expect this number to increase soon. I guess such number of downloads it doesn't worth to implement payment system and just put button "say thank$" instead.

    and the name does sound like a 101010101 so maybe a new name like some others have said
    The name was chosen intended to attract more attention.

    How difficult it would be to change the keys sent by the mouse click features? I'm not eager to change my wow keybinds from what I've used for years.
